Here is a comparison photo (not the best photo, sorry) of 4 O-ring Storm Shadow figures. Click on the thumbnail to view a larger photo.
From left to right: V19 2005 Comic 3 Pack New 2022 Pulse Exclusive Black Major Custom Version (The more recent run) Chinese Carded Version (Which I now strongly believe is a fake of some sort)

Hard to tell from the photo you attached, but I think I can see the nub of a chimney on the (incorrect) right side of the house. |

thanks for the pic. didn't want to dig mine out for comparison - and I don't have any Black Major stuff.
I think I actually like the comic pack one most |

The little blue-and-white house logo on the card front should say "HASBRO" and only have one chimney, which is on the left side. Bootleg carded Storm Shadows from China typically say "HRSBRO" and have two chimneys. If that's what yours looks like, it's definitely a fake.
Hard to tell from the photo you attached, but I think I can see the nub of a chimney on the (incorrect) right side of the house. It definitely has the two chimneys. I'll double check the lettering. What is sad, is that the fake Chinese one has a much thinker card-back than the new Pulse one. The Black Major one might actually look the best of these 4, initially. However, as soon as you pick that one up, it's definitely too light. Also, the legs behave very weirdly, like he's recently had a hip replacement or something. I do really like the new pulse one though.
